Everyone knows that whatever the hottest celebrities wear on the Red Carpet influences dress styles in the High Street even more than the Catwalk.  And whatever is true for clothes fashion, is also true for jewelry fashion. 

Celebrities have worn spectacular colored diamond pieces, huge pink rocks, glorious emerald pieces and gorgeous diamond chandelier earrings.  And this has driven jewelry fashion.

But what can you hope to do when every starlet and Oscar winner alike openly admits to borrowing her diamond trinkets from publicity hungry jewelry stores?  I mean, normal folk cannot hope to just wander into any jewelry store and ask to borrow two million dollars worth of diamonds for the evening, even if they did have the necessary security! 

But actually, you don’t have to.  Gemstone jewelry can look as fabulous as the most precious sapphire, emerald, ruby and diamond jewelry but for a fraction of the price.  If a piece is well made, and set into sterling silver, peridot jewelry can take on the look of fabulous emeralds in platinum or white gold.  And heat treated colored diamond jewelry has the appearance of much more expensive natural fancy colored diamonds. 

And with such opulence in abundance, even the simplest style becomes devastatingly chic.  Beautiful gemstone jewelry instantly transforms the normal appearance of any woman into the diva-like image of a celebrity!  And every woman deserves that, surely!

When Marilyn Monroe sang that Diamond’s are a Girl’s Best Friend, fancy colored diamonds were well beyond the reach of mere mortals!  The vast majority of all mined diamonds are colorless crystals and small carat weight crystals to boot.  This makes extraordinary fancies, such as the huge, flawless pink Hope Diamond exceptionally rare and explains its priceless price tag!

However, when Ben Affleck gave J-Lo a stunning pink diamond engagement ring, and David Beckham later gave Victoria a pink diamond, these glorious stones grabbed the public’s attention.  Unsurprisingly these glorious rocks also had celebrity price tags.  J-Lo’s ring was reputedly worth over a million dollars at the time! 

However, recent advancements in heat treatment techniques has meant that naturally occurring trace colors within diamond crystals can be enhanced.  This produces desirable tones and shades and results in genuine mined diamonds with celebrity fancy hues but more affordable price tags!

Fancies are available in different colors and shades.  Because of the celebrity connection, pink diamonds are especially popular, and therefore expensive; the more popular baby pink and bubble gum pink shades are much pricier than paler pink hues.  But if you really want to own a fancy diamond affordably, you should look for other colors as well as less popular shades of pink to find something to match your budget.  In particular, black, chocolate, champagne and yellow are very popular colors, and blue diamond jewelry is also comparatively affordable these days.
